Kinder Joy offers sweet treat and toy surprise

Kinder Joy offers sweet treat and toy surprise in egg packaging
December 16, 2017

Ferrero U.S.A Inc. has launched Kinder Joy—a unique treat made especially for kids with parents in mind. Kinder Joy is a new way for parents to add a little surprise to their kid's day with a unique two-in-one product that offers a delicious treat with an added little surprise.

The plastic egg-shaped package is comprised of two separately sealed halves: One half contains a delicious treat made of two soft cream layers, one is sweet milk-cream flavored and one cocoa flavored. Nestled into the creamy layers are two round, chocolate-covered wafer bites that are filled with sweet cocoa cream, to be eaten with the included spoon. 

The other half of the egg contains an exciting surprise toy, giving kids and parents an opportunity to assemble, play and share together. Kinder Joy has a wide range of surprise toys developed by our expert team of designers to maximize play time for children ages three and up – from toys that encourage creativity to toys that teach kids about the world around them. In addition, seasonal and special licensed toys will be made available throughout the year (while supplies last) to keep the surprises coming. 

"When you're a kid, every surprise counts, especially the little ones. Kinder Joy is a fun, new way to help parents bring little surprises to their kids anytime they want," says Paul Chibe, CEO of Ferrero North America. "The delicious, unique taste of Kinder Joy and the wide variety of toys will delight kids, while mom and dad will be surprised by the high quality of the confection and toys—it's unlike anything currently on the U.S. market."   

"Growing up in Sweden, I remember when my mom used to give me Kinder products as a child. The anticipation of the delicious treat was fun and special," recalls Malin Akerman, actress and longtime Kinder fan. "That's why I'm looking forward to help welcome the Kinder brand to the U.S. Now I can pass on these delicious treats to my son and see him experience the same genuine surprise and delight that I did every time he opens a Kinder Joy egg."

"Today's parents are looking for an elevated experience for their children, even in their treats. Kinder Joy offers more than just a sweet treat and mystery toy, it also gives parents the opportunity to engage with their children through the Magic Kinder online and mobile platforms," adds Chibe.

As part of the experience, parents can access Magic Kinder, an edutainment app that offers a digital world of fun and education. These platforms are designed to help families play and learn together through a wide range of engaging games, videos, stories and activities. It is completely free and can be accessed through www.magic.kinder, the iOS and Android app stores or through the QR code that is printed on the information leaflet that accompanies the toys inside the Kinder Joy egg.

For nearly 50 years, the Kinder brand has been delighting families around the world bringing parents and children together by offering them delicious and joy-filled moments to share.  Currently sold in 170 countries, the Kinder brand offers a wide range of high quality products from chocolate bars to surprise-filled treats.
